Beginning to look like Christmas..

 Well almost!!

Hello you lovely lot, I do hope you’re well? I can’t believe we are less than a month away from Christmas! This year has just been soooooo fast! Tho I bet most can’t wait for it to be over 

'keep reading for a lucky treat'

Today I wanted to share my last little make from the Alphabet Challenge, yip we’re at the end already

I coloured you this cute little guy for Y but never got a chance to use him but with Z I created a Double Z-Fold card! I do love this little Yeti

I used Tangled Yeti from Stamping Bella coloured with Spectrum Noir Classiques and Glossy Accents to the lights. Lots of Lucy's Cards gems and snowflakes along with some matching ribbon. The lush papers are the new North Star First Edition ones that I just adore!

When I did the Y I coloured up 5 Yeti images and of course the other 4 needed to be on cards too

These 3 I used Distress Oxide inks and some masking to create the backgrounds along with some paint for snow

and this one I coloured the background with my markers including the tree then added snow again with paint splashes

What do you think?? Do you have a favourite? I love this little pink guy and the Brown one looks more like a bear but the cute light grey is my fav!!

Hello everyone

its Friday which means its time form a post from little me, over on Clare Curds and wanted to share  the stunning summer themed paper Shoreline from American Crafts!

I'm such a paper magpie (as some of you already know) and these papers just needed to be in my stash and I knew they would make the perfect birthday card for a special friend

The wee card is a "Z" fold and is soooo simple to make

Here's how I did it

I used the lush papers, card blanks and some yellow card stock from my stash to make the main card and everything else I used to decorate was in my stash too

Firstly I took 2 to 6x6 card blanks folding them and then taking one and cutting an inch of one edge and then cutting the other card down to 4.5" square

Then I started decorating the inside and front panel of the large card by layer with the yellow card and the Shoreline papers

after that I stuck the small card blank to the inside of the large card with the opening going the opposite way. This forms the "Z" shape of the card, then decorate

I then used my spellbinders to make a small ornate frame for a birthday sentiment, you could use the Nestabilities Labels 25 to get the same effect and even better is they are on sale!

Then using my trusty Silhouette cameo I cut out this layered Bike added gems and flowers to the basket and highlighting with a black marker

and after added some Craftwork Sentiments and more gems the card is finished

I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it??
Well its party time here tomorrow with hubbies brother turning 40 and I've still loads to do!
Till next time
